13 Great Morgan Freeman Movies

If you’ve never seen The Electric Company, you didn’t get that. Sorry.

On to my 13 for this week.

Morgan Freeman is one of my absolute favorite actors! I can’t say I’ve loved every movie he’s been in (such as 10 Items or Less – didn’t appeal to me), but here are 13 that I have enjoyed.

1. Clean and Sober – A pretty good movie, even though he’s not the main character.2. Lean on Me (1989) – based on a true story about an inner city school3. Driving Miss Daisy (1989)– a bittersweet story4. The Shawshank Redemption (1994). It’s rare I can watch a movie more than once, but I definitely can watch this one over and over. And, to think, it’s about prisoners!5. Outbreak (1995) – The story about an airborne virus is good, although the book was better. It usually is.6. Se7en (1995) – What is it with serial killers? Strange movie in some ways, but unique as well7. Kiss the Girls (1997) – Every time I read an Alex Cross book by James Patterson, I picture Morgan Freeman as Alex.8. Under Suspicion (2000) – Another crime/thriller movie9. Along Came a Spider (2001) – another Alex Cross psychological thriller10. Bruce Almighty (2003) – Who else could play God and get away with it?11. Million Dollar Baby (2004) – Who’d ‘a thought I’d like a boxing movie?12. Evan Almighty (2007) – Another “Biblical” adventure13. Gone Baby Gone (2007) – I guess I just like mysteries and psychological thrillers. I was very surprised at the ending of this one.

Morgan Freeman has been is lots of other movies, of course, but I hope you enjoyed my list.

haha I DO remember the electric co. (often on right after sesame st!). Great topic this week Dianne! I also can watch S.R. over and over ... Didn't U love gone baby gone?? Who did you side with at the end? My husband and I argued for hours! hey.. I Also loved him in Robin Hood with kevin costner.. And Unforgiven with Clint!!

The only movie on that list that I have seen is is Driving Miss Daisy. I vaguely remember a show called the Electric Company, but I never watched it. It must have been on somewhere between my childhood and my motherhood. ;)
